| Commentary | Elisabeth Hellincx, daughter of Jan Hellincx (of R 36235) and of Gertruyd Hudde, was baptized in the N.K. on 14 November 1610 (DTB 39/235). On 23 January 1635, she was betrothed to Johannes (or Jan) Looten, born on 1 October 1612 (died 10 May 1676). He was the son of Charles Looten, born in Brugge in 1575, who died in Amsterdam on 1 October 1652. Charles Looten was associated in business with Jacob Quina of R 30652 of Montias2. Johannes Looten lived on the Heeregracht, near the Bergstraet in den Moor. He was taxed on a fortune of 400,000 f. in 1674. He became Dijkgraaf of the Beemster in 1664 and Lieutenant of the civil militia in 1661. On 25 October 1625, Johannes Looten and Elijsabet Hellings had their daughter Geertruijt baptized in the O.K. in the presence of Charles Looten (Johannes's father), Marija de Hem, and Clara Nijs (the mother of Gertruyd Hudde) (DTB 7/62). On 27 April 1635, Joannes Looten, as the husband of Elisabeth Hellings, stated in a deposition that Hendrick and Gerrit Hudde and Isaack Moors (of R 26927 of Montias2) were the guardians of his wife (NA 598, fol.1). After the death of Elisabeth Hellincx, who was buried on 10 November 1635, Looten remarried with Appolonia Selijns, daughter of Willem Jansz. Selijns on 28 October 1642 (Elias, Vroedschap, p.708). Pieter de Haer, who estimated the silverwork, is the buyer of R 21042. For Jan Looten's death inventory of 10 May 1676, see INVNO 286. | |
